A photo scanner is specifically designed for high quality scanning of photos and all the detail that entails. Scanning a photo requires a great deal of information technology, as each colour shade and shadow has to be faithfully reproduced to make the scan worth while. A photo scanner tends to scan at a very high resolution, to capture all the detail needed and many of them have an LED light source for bright image capture and low cost scanning. The images can be stored through a PC or Tablet and many of the photoscanners have the ability to scan negatives and slides, making them multi functional.
